CHRISTOPHER LENARD BLOCKSON, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a purported district court order denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Erika D. Ballou, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no decision, oral or written, had been made on the petition when appellant filed the notice of appeal on July 3, 2023. Thus, the notice of appeal is premature. See NRS 177.015(3). Accordingly, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
